I've tried quickly it's working fine for AIX and doesn't require any other
changes. I've also tried some COFF targets in cross compilation and there
doesn't seem to have any problems too. I'm not sure it's fully relevant though
as it's cross compilation.  

However, as you mentioned 'internal_syment' is already using 'bfd_hostptr_t' so
it looks fine to me. But it would need more tests directly on these COFF
targets, which I don't have access or someone who know deeply bfd to see if
it's a possible fix.
